Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Eggs]

....the grinders couldn’t quite grind it out. So, so disappointing when every single player dies for the defensive cause only to be let down by a goalkeepers error. His teammates won’t rate him for errors that cost them.

Not clinical at the end, we could’ve pinched it but 4 points off a very good Leicester team is a decent return. Impressed with them.

Back four terrific, especially the two CBs, I’ll go for Keane MoM but it could easily have been Mina or Godfrey (another winger up against him substituted). Never mind.

UTFT.

Tom basically saying Leicester weren’t that special and Pickford was crap

 

[Debunkology]

I think we gave them far too much respect. It's fricken Leicester without Vardy.

Having said that, Ancelotti's tactics nearly worked. Only one flaw, he had Picford in net.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Not a bad result and all the other games have gone as I wanted

I honestly don't get why Ancelotti has an obsession with sitting back for an entire half. We did with with Fulham, we did it here. We were missing 2 first team players. TWO! And we played like we were against Pep's Barcelona.

Just a terrible performance in the second half. Really really poor.

Wudda got us the three points if it wasn't for Pickf

 

[Preki]

If we stuff the horse beaters on Saturday that's 4 good points. We have to accept at present we can't go toe to toe with fast sides. With Allan and Doucore might have been different.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I feel pretty frustrated after that, an error cost us points again.

 

[Zezti]

One of Doucoure and Allan and we don't get peppered with balls and Pickford doesn't panic. Just our luck they're both out.

 

[NathDogg]

Disappointed that we didnt nick it - the headed chances in particular.

Important not to loose the game when missing Allen and Doucs, so that's a positive - commentary seemed to have forgot that we've got suspensions and injuries.

Think Carlo set us up a bit too negatively second half for me, especially as I think you can get at Leicester.

Onward Evertonians - were still right in it!

 

[Darrenc34]

I hoped a win, but a draw not bad overalls i guess.

 

[Sharpies volley]

The lad was doing well before then. I want to say the bodies around the ball could have impeded his vision but he should have saved it. Undoes his good work. Enigma

How was he doing well?

 

[Jim Hopper]

He won’t be, he did everything else ok. It’s frustrating though every time he makes a mistake it costs us a goal. Olsen made a mistake the other week got away with it.

I don’t think he did everything okay he flapped at all sorts again today and palmed the ball back onto into dangerous areas instead of attempting to catch the ball or at least clear it somewhere safely.

Lad is a walking catastrophe Km fed up of him costing us time and time and time and time again. If he was an outfield player he wouldn’t even be getting minutes it’s a joke.

 

[Seathestars]

Not quite sure why the commentators were drooling over Leicester in the 2nd Half.
We sat back and were containing them comfortably until that Pickford mistake.
We could have played all night and Leicester would never have scored but for Pickford.

 

[edge]

Lucky to get a point out of that,
You could see pickford was having a mad one , on the run up to the goal, had no need to give a corner, flapping about , then let's a soft shot in, I try not to go on about players but I wish we would just fk him off.
Saying that Leicester are a good side and to go up against them without Allan and the Duke wasn't a bad result on reflection.
